Killington Ski Resort

[8] Extensive investment in the mid-1990s by American Skiing Company gave Killington a modernized lift system, similar in footprint to what exists today.

The K-1 gondola replaced the earlier Killington Peak double chairlift in the same alignment, significantly increasing capacity out of the main base.

The resort was damaged by excess runoff from Ottauquechee River, which lifted the Superstar Pub off of its foundation, condemning the structure.

[citation needed] The last mention of the development of Killington Village was in February 2014 when SP Land Company, LLC.

[12] Shortly after the acquisition in 2007, Powdr announced that it will stop honoring "lifetime" lift passes issued by the previous owners after two years.

[13] Located in central Vermont, Killington has 155 trails, 21 lifts, and 1,509 acres (6.1 km2) extending across six interconnected mountain peaks.

A seventh peak, Pico Mountain, was purchased by Killington in 1996, but operates as a separate resort on the same lift tickets.

Killington has one of the east's largest[citation needed] half-pipes located at Bear Mountain for a portion of each winter season.

Connector trails have been cut (and are often used for maintenance purposes), and it is possible to ski from Pico to Killington when natural snow allows.

[1] Killington averages 250 inches (20.8 ft; 6.4 m) of natural snow each winter, coupled with a snowmaking system that covers 71% of the trails.

It also has lift accessed mountain biking in the summer with technical trail features, jumps, and other obstacles.

[20] In March 2015, the resort successfully applied to the state for permit allowing them to add zip lines and a mountain coaster.
